Answer 1

Answer:

Features of the permanent settlement :

1)The EEIC recognised the zamindars as the owners of the land from which revenue would be collected. The peasants who actually worked on the land now became tenants of the zamindars.

2)The EEIC then permanently fixed the amount of tax that these zamindars would have to pay to the state

3)The zamindars were to collect this tax from the peasants who worked on their lands.however,the amount of tax that the peasants had to pay to the zamindars was not fixed by the EEIC
